But there’s an inside story that will excite you too, just as it did Robert Montgomery. It’s Elgin’s exclusive DuraPower Main spring. Here in the part that runs the watch is truly a history-making achievement. This miracle mainspring will never rust—and rust is the greatest cause of breakage. It will hold its “springi ness" for a constant accuracy never before possible in any watch. Eliminated are 99'.*6 of all repairs due to steel mainspring failures! The one who is buying a watch for you will appreci ate a hint—“an Elgin with the DuraPower symbol ‘dp’ on the dial.” It’s sure to be smartly styled. ses Peace Dr. Murphy announced that the panel decided to translate the Christmas spirit into a modern message of ways of promoting brotherhood among peoples of the world. “Pi Lambda Theta considers it a privilege to meet and talk with these foreign born people of State College’’, stated Dr. Murphy. Miss Dorothy Cornell, chair man of the December program, has asked each member to bring Christmas gifts for Crossnor to the meeting.

German Dept. Prefers Army i The saying, “there’s the army way and there’s the right vfay,* has a familiar denotation to most x-Gl’s but it seems as if the Ger-% man department at the College has decided that apparently the right way is the Army way, at least in introducing a new method of language study to the student body. Instead of insisting on written grammar and book German, two* phases of language study which assist the student relatively little in the actual conversation of the language, the department has added two practical speaking German courses to its long list. The new courses, listed as Ger man 102 and 304, in the College catalogue are concentrated stud ies employing the aural-oral ap proach to speaking and reading the langugae with German 304 being a Continuation of 102. Both are six credit courses. Conversation Strewed Nine hours are required each week with three hours spent on lecture material while the other six are spent in actual conversa tion. Not only do students get a thorough knowledge of the speaking language but those who wish to alleviate their language requirements in the shortest pos sible time through this extensive course may complete their lan guage requirements in one year. Sections are limited so that each student receives theproper attention. Dr. Albert Buffington and Dr. Dagobert leLeive, pres ent instructors of the course, ex pect a much larger student enroll ment in the future, since such re markable progress has been shown to date. Ten weeks ago, with the excep tion of one student out of the class of eight none had know any German. Now when Dr. deLevie TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1848 By George Vadass asks such questions as “Wig vield Kinder haben Sie?” or “Womit kann man viel geld verdienen?’ l there isn’t a member in the class who can’t answer in good, fluent German. Outstanding Student Robert Rabold, one of th * smartest students of the is seventh semester economics major who resides in Windcrest* He is the only member of the class who had any previous Ger man contacts. In fact his. contacts were very permanent. During his stay in Vienna, in 1946 and 1946, he married a Viennese girl. He states, “If anyone wants to learn to speak German, this is the course they should take. They should teach all languages this way.” ‘. Girl Comments Martha Albers, a State College? girl and one of the two feminities in the class, says, “This is really a marvelous opportunity to learn' to speak German. I’m getting more out of this than any other, course I’m taking.” Seventh semester C&F major Milton Shapiro, when asked' about the course, answered, “For somebody who really wants to learn to speak German, this’ Course is Tops So far all you prospective OSS, and secret service men who will want to get a thorough German speaking knowledge, schedule* two of the best courses that the German department has to offer —German 102 or 304. NSA Begins Drive In Aid of DP's The United States National k Student Association haa begun its drive to enable displaced per sons to attend American college* 1 next fall.
